TOO MANY COLLEGES.

1t may seem extravagant to assert that
there can be such thing as too much edu
cation, but it is nevertheless true that there
are in the United States too many colleges,
and this fact is emphasized by the magnifi-
cent bequeSt of $1,000 900 which Mr..
CLARK, OF Worcester, Mass. has made to
found university in that city. New En-
gland has already several excellent colleges
and at least two universities of world wide
renewn. She not only can provide for her
own educational needs, but she can and does
furnish mental culture to good section of
the country beside. 1t would have been
much better, then, had Mr.. CLARK made
his bequest to one of these institutions al
ready established, and which would have
accordingly been able to utilize it to the
greatest advantage. AS it is, by the time
the buildings are erected for the proposed
CLARK university" there will be little
money left to establish the professorships.
The gentleman had undoubtedly perfect
right to make such disposition of his wealth
as he saw fit, but it is to be regretted that
he did not take into consideration the fact
that the New England field was already
pretty we'll filled. 1t is i'm the West that
the next great university must be estab-
lished. but that will only come about when
there is check placed upon the diffusion
throughout the country of the many So
called colleges. These ambitious institu-
lions, very excellent as high schools, fall
far below, as general thing, the collegiate
standard. 1t would be far better if, instead
of building dozen colleges, each lacking
the means to attain the greatest possible
degree Of usefulness one university, if you
like. were founded at central point which
should combine the learning and the
resources of the smaller educational centerS
The West is as well able to maintain two
or three such as the East is. with Western
aid, to maintain Harvard, Yale and Column
bia. But until the erection of the smaller
colleges is stopped that desirable con-
summation cannot be brought about The
spirit of the age favors concentration and
Capitalization. II is just as much in favor
of it where education is concerned as in
anything else. The separated colleges
doubtless accomplish their share of good,
but through their concentration still better
things could be looked for. And, in pass
ing, it may be said that in Faribault Min
neSota possesses center which could not
be better adapted for the founding of
university which would be such in fact as
well as in name.

There does not seem to be any especial
reason why the Ice Palace and grounds
should be closed to the public to-day. No
disorder is likely to ensue in consequence
of the public being admitted to the grounds,
nor is there anything in the fact of their
being thrown open likely to shock the
moral sentiment of the community. On the
contrary there are hundreds of visitors in
the city whose time is limited, people who
want to see as much as is possible within
the few days they have allowed themselves
for their visit. To these the closing of the
grounds to-day is an injustice. Not only
is such action unwise, taking into consider
alton the strangers in the city, but it is also
unfair to many people who by the nature of
their duties are prevented from visiting the
palace and grounds during the week. They
have Sunday only as a holiday and every
innocent means of amusement should be
afforded them. We are quite sure the peo-
pie of St. Paul would not view with dis
favor the opening of the grounds to-day,
and certainly the morals of the community
would suffer no detriment by so doing.

is not in that line of business.
But if our correspondent WILL furnish
us the proof of his assertion we
will lay it before the legislature and de-
mand of that body the passage OF law
similar to the one passed by the Michigan
legislature, which will forever put an end
to the Infamous practice The GLOBE is in
sympathy with the movement now in prog
ress to procure legislati, that will more
effeetually protect youthful females The
proposition to change the law referring to
rape so as to raise the age of consent to
eighteen years is so manifestly just. we
take it for granted that no argument is
necessary to convince an intelligent fegis-
lature of the necessity for making the
change More than that the GLOBE is of
opinion that seduction should be made a
felony with the severest penalties attached.
Our laws relating to crimes of this char
acter are entirely too lenient and stricter
measures should at once be adopted and
strictly enforced.

THAT BOUNCING NUISANCE,

The GLOBES assertion that the bouncing
nuisance was lettering strangers from Wis
Iting the carnival is verified this morning
by st. Cloud correspondent, who relates
some incidents going to show in what alb
horrence the practice is held by people out
side of the city. The GLOBE is gratifed to
state that the hints it kindly threw out re-
garding the matter have been as kindly re-
ceived by the members of the various clubs,
and it is understood that by common con-
sent the bouncing folly shall be abated and
visitors coming to see the carnival show
during the coming week need have no APP
prehension of being elevated to the third
heavens by the instrumentality of the
bouncing blanket. There will be plenty of
other kinds of innocent and legitimate
sport to entertain the carnival crowds with
out reSortlng to the senseIess nuisance. The
example set by the young ladies of ST.
Cloud will be followed by the st. Paul
girls, and every fellow who is foolish
enough to betray fondness for the silly
bounce will be promptly invited to take a
hind seat in the procession and shall forever
wear the mitten.

A CRITICS OPINION,

The novelist HowELLS, who has had a
constituency probably larger than that of
any other American writer of fiction, has
become sufficiently elated by that fact TO
set up as a critic of writers whose names
will still be household words when that of
the New England author will be an exceed
ingly dim memory. The latest assertion
of this self-iniportant critic is that DICKENS
is commonplace. and that. judged by mod
ern standards, there is hardly the merit in
his writings to warrant his worldwide pop
ularity. Mr.. HOWELLS' forte, as displayed
in his analytical novels, is observation of
the most intense and accurate character.
His long training in this direction should
have taught him that it was only because
there was reason amply sufficient for it that
DICKENS had become the author of the peo-
pie. the writer to whom one turns with ever
fresh interest when all others become weari-
some. He should have recognized that the
human sympathy. the naturalness and the
vividness of the often lowly pictures which
Dickens has painted find their counter
part IN everyday life, and in that lies the
secret of his popularity. The unprofes-
sional reader is the surest critic after all,
and he or she sees in DICKENS the author,
who, instead of dissecting an emotion with
a literary scalpel, has written of life as it
really is, who appeals directly to the hearts
of his readers because he uses no trick of
artificiality to obscure the simple natural
ness of the tale he has to tell. If DICKENS
is commonplace, it is pity there is no more
of such commonplace in the literary world,
and with all due respect to Mr.. HowELLs,
clever writer though he be, he might even
improve his own style by learning lesson
or two from that of the author whom he

GROWTH OF REpUBL1CAN1sM.


They are progressing over across the
the water. and it is kind of progression
that may well make royalty trembIe on its
throne. Republican ideas-not the kind
that finds in communision or socialism the
panacea for all human ills-are taking
firmer root, in England especially, every
day, and the Liberal strength is receiving
constant acceSSonS. AS a significant inGi-
cation of this growth, the greeting a men
ton of Queen VICToRIA's name received
at reputable public meeting recently in
London. is noteworthy. The queens known
hostility TO the Liberals and her obstinate
clinging to the most rabid of Conservative
ideas. has quite overcome with the mass of
the people the inherent loyalty which they
possess to the established order of govern
ment. When mention was made of her in
connection with obstacles thrown in the
way of progress, she was roundly Kissed.
The English people are becoming tired of
royal tigureheadS and are beginning to see
the folly of taxing themselves for the pur-
pose OF supporting purely ornamental
feature OF their government. They have
been tolerably patient, however, as long as the
royal rulers have remained simply quiescent
in political affairs, but when this idleness is
exchanged for an effort to delay the meas
ures of popular benefit then they express,
in an unmistakable manner, their Just in
dignaton. The effect of self-government
in America has made the people of royalty
ridden England incline to the belief that it
would be good thing for them also and it
is quite within the bounds of probability
that the present royal family is the last that
will claim even the nominal rulership of
Great Britain

Philadelphia Press.
The following dispatches. which were
sent out i'll the last package at 2:05 Christ
mas morning from the Associated Press,
are curious commentary upon the variety
of the communication that have to be read
on a news desk and the miscellaneous way
in which they come together. The pathetic
story OF the poor demented mother killing
herself and her babe after making all the
mournful preparations, and affectionately
thinking of her bereaved husband and little
boy, is followed by the statement of unusual
gayety in Paris. A jump from grave to
gay which, while it was, of course unpre-
meditated, was singularly striking at feS-
tive Christmas time, and is a solemn re-
hinder of the hidden tragedies that are al
ways being performed in the great cities of
the world:
New York, Dec. 24.-Mrs. Augusta
Marston and her two-and-a- half months
old babe were tonight found dead in the
flat occupied by herself and husband,
Charles, and boy Frank, at No. 21S East
One Hundred and Nineteenth street. Since
her recent confinement the mother has been
delicate and dispondent. She had draped
the clock, herself and child in black Grape,
closed the bedroom. turned on the gas, and
with the babe in her arms lay down and
died OF sutfocation. She left this note:
Dear Papa: Please let me sleep; 1 am
so tired. Buy frankie new suit of clothes
for Christmas. Forgive me, Charlie. Your
devoted wife. AUGUSTA"
Paris, Dec. 24.-Christmas will be gayer
than usual this year, owing to brisker bust
ness.
Then, again, comos the list of five brides
of the church who have entered the cloister
forever and made their final farewell to the
world, the last words being an unconscious
but appropriate adleu to those who have
entered the unknown gates, never more to
return:
Scranton, Pa, Dec. 24.-The following
ladies have taken the black vail at st. Roses
convent Carbondale: Lizzie Lee, known
in religion as Sister Mary Alberta; Margaret
Conner, Sister Mary Isadore; Maggie How
ard, Sister Mary Clare; Mary Gallagher.

CANADAs CONCESSION.

Like Col. CRocKETT's coon. Canada is
coming down on the fisheries question
rather than be knocked down. This is the
sensible thing for our neighbor to do.
There is no reason why there should be bad
feeling between our government and the
Dominion, and there will be none if the
Canadians do the square thing. They are
on the wrong side in the fisheries trouble,
and the manly thing for them to do is to
acknowledge the corn and make the proper
apology. When that is done we will give
them the fraternal grip once more, and.
unless it is done, We will continue to wear
the mailed glove.

Traffic i'll Girls.

To the Editor of the Globe:
The dispatch from Lansing, Mich, pub
lished in your Saturdays issue, might easily
refer to the condition of affairs both in Wis
consin and Minnesota. That regular traffic
does exist there can be no question what
and in utter defiance of law that it is slowly
but surely sapping the foundations of Sc
eiety! What picture is more beautiful than
that OF the pure and virtuous woman! Yet
every day these young girls are falling vic
TINS and who is there to raise hand to stop
them? Pick up any large newspaper of the
day and you cannot fail to read the sad story
Of some unfortunate girl. 1t is estimated by
the police authorities that in the cities of
New York and Brooklyn alone, 90, 600 young
girls are annually seduced, and still
the bus nesS thriVes. If the GLOBE was
to investigate the public morals of the state
of Minnesota it could easily find as much ma
terlal as did the Pail Mall Gazette in Its
famous Maiden Tribute to a Modern Baby
lon." Now, as to sucn places as the dispatch
refers to, they exist also in Minnesota
where the women are in veritable
slavery. l hope now that the
legislature is in session that others will ex-
press their ideas, and perhaps interest might
be stirred up to induce the passage of laws
that will bring these rascals to time
even if the state would pay a reward
OF $500 for the arrest of such offend
ers 1t would certainly be as laudable as
to pay such an amount for the arrest of
horse thief. Now, Mr.. Editor, will you kindly
give US your opinion in little editorial on
this matter, and keep the ball rolling until , G
can induce our legislature to at least take a
hint from the noble course now commencing
in Michigan. MA

The wonder of the West.

Portsmouth IN. H. Penny Post.
The st. Paul GLOBE is the wonder of the
West and the pride of Minnesota in particu-
lar. Its Christmas number was daisy-no.
q pink. There is only one objection we can
offer. or rather it is q feeling, to these col
ossal newspaper establishments, and it is
that they make US altogether too sensible of
our own littleneSs AID insigniticance, far-off
here in this Eastern nook, with our humble
Journalistic effort. Still we think of IAN i'll
favored thing, sir, but mine own and con-
clude that whether the field be large or be
small is not of SO much consequence as how
it is cultivated. That Brother Baker, of the
GLOBE, is farming his magnificent acres in
the most progressive style is clearly evident
from all the fruits thereof His new build
ing is ten stories in height and his enterprise
and talents appear to be equally towering and
built on as solid q foundation
